    Verse 1
    If 
    you 
    could 
    read 
    my 
    mind, 
    love 

    What 
    tale 
    my 
    thoughts 
    could 
    tell 

    Just 
    like 
    an 
    old 
    time 
    movie 

    'Bout 
    ghost 
    from 
    wishing 
    well 

    In 
    castle 
    dark 
    or 
    fortress 
    strong 

    With 
    chains 
    upon 
    my 
    feet 

    You 
    know 
    that 
    ghost 
    is 
    me 

    And 
    will 
    never 
    be 
    set 
    free 

    As 
    long 
    as 
    am 
    ghost, 

    you 
    can't 
    see 

    Verse 2
    If 
    could 
    read 
    your 
    mind, 
    love 

    What 
    tale 
    your 
    thoughts 
    could 
    tell 

    Just 
    like 
    paperback 
    novel 

    The 
    kind 
    the 
    drugstore 
    sells 

    When 
    you 
    reach 
    the 
    part 

    where 
    the 
    heart
    aches 
    come 

    The 
    hero 
    would 
    be 
    me 

    But 
    heroes 
    often 
    fail 

    And 
    you 
    won't 
    read 
    that 
    book 
    again 

    Be
    cause 
    the 
    ending's 
    just 
    too 
    hard 
    to 
    take 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    I'd 
    walk 
    away 
    like 
    mo
    vie 
    star 

    Who 
    gets 
    burned 
    in 
    three 
    way 
    script 

    Enter 
    number 
    two, 

    movie 
    queen 
    to 
    play 
    the 
    scene 

    Of 
    bringing 
    all 
    the 
    good 
    things 
    out 
    in 
    me 

    But 
    for 
    now, 
    love, 
    let's 
    be 
    real 

    never 
    thought 
    could 
    act 
    this 
    way 

    And 
    I've 
    got 
    to 
    say 
    that 
    just 
    don't 
    get 
    it 

    don't 
    know 
    where 
    we 
    went 
    wrong 

    But 
    the 
    feeling's 
    gone 
    and 

    just 
    can't 
    get 
    it 
    back 

    Verse 4
    If 
    you 
    could 
    read 
    my 
    mind, 
    love 

    What 
    tale 
    my 
    thoughts 
    could 
    tell 

    Just 
    like 
    an 
    old 
    time 
    movie 

    'Bout 
    ghost 
    from 
    wishing 
    well 

    In 
    castle 
    dark 
    or 
    fortress 
    strong 

    With 
    chains 
    upon 
    my 
    feet 

    But 
    stories 
    always 
    end 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    read 
    be
    tween 
    the 
    lines 

    You'll 
    know 
    that 
    I'm 
    just 
    trying 
    to 
    under
    stand 

    The 
    feelings 
    that 
    you 
    lack 

    never 
    thought 
    could 
    feel 
    this 

    And 
    I've 
    got 
    to 
    say 
    that 
    just 
    don't 
    get 
    it 

    don't 
    know 
    where 
    we 
    went 
    wrong 

    But 
    the 
    feeling's 
    gone 

    And 
    just 
    can't 
    get 
    it 
    back

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
